A modest proposal re MPSIMS

Hi! waves

We could rename it “Wibble”. Wibble is a good, useful word that means whatever you want it to be- everything and nothing, if you will. Suits it rather well.

The fact it’s my favourite word is just a coincidence, I tells ya! :smiley:

Please find below the solution to all our problems:

  1. Drop the AT from ATMB.

  2. Post all threads to MB.
    The advantages of this plan are blindingly obvious:

  3. MPSIMS disappears into oblivion along with all the other annoying forum names.

  4. Threads will no longer suffer the humiliation of being moved all over the place.

  5. That’s it.
    This post has beem so carefully thought out that there is absolutely nowhere else to move it (under the current but now obsolete nomenclative regime).

Not that carefully, apparently.

I like MPSIMS. When I talk to another Doper, I say Em-Pee-Sims, they know what I mean. It’s traditional.

I think the wit displayed in the original thread title that Opal spoke of deserves to live on.

And, yes, I think it’s a perfect description of most of the posts to that forum, which are indeed mundane, pointless and relentlessly shared.

Ya know, when something ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

It really is fine as is, it’s a part of our history, even.

No disrespect intended but “gallimaufry” sounds more like a condiment than a forum. :slight_smile:

I call it “Mipsims”.

I see MPSIMS and always tranlate it as “Mundane, Pointless Shit I Must Share”. It gives me a warm feeling when I see it.

I favor MPSIMS. It’s unique, easy and catchy.

I like my sandwich with extra gallimaufry!

What? You’re getting fewer and fewer what?

Sammiches, of course.

DO try to keep up.

fewer and fewer in number :stuck_out_tongue:

No way. Because then someone would want to call it “The Cantina” and one more SW v ST thread would cause the heat death of the universe.

Me, too…I seriously thought “stuff” was just a euphemism.

I think the name should stay. Trust me…99.9% of what people want to share is important to them and not to anyone else.

And when I post my 99.9%, I don’t want anyone telling me I can’t :slight_smile:
